Think of the prompt, what strange or unrealistic thing could happen?
Does the prompt make you think of a fun, happy time or a sad, depressing time?
As soon as you read the prompt, do you know what you want to write about? If not, list 5 possible topics that you could write about.
Do you not have that experience in your own life? Write about someone else's life.
